I need some suggestions - sister for Cytheria

Girl Names
1

So I posted something similar in another thread, but I didn’t come up with anything new that I loved yet

Not TTC until fall, but I am saddened by the fact that I actually have no girl names on my list that I absolutely love other than Cytheria ([name]Violet[/name] is still, I think, my favorite mn but I would totally open to suggestions for others)

I like names that are mythological, mystical, celestial, rare, or nature-oriented.

The name has to be at least 2 syllables

The name can’t end in “L” or have an “el / elle” sound at the end.

I know you all are up to the challenge. Thank you!

@isabellemarie

I have considered [name]Eliora[/name] before, or possibly [name]Elora[/name] or Elaria, I like the idea of having that “el” sound at the beginning…Any other similar suggestions?

I also like [name]Arcadia[/name] (what a great way to get to nn [name]Cadie[/name]!)

The only other “el” one’s I can think of are [name]Electra[/name], [name]Elspeth[/name], [name]Eleonora[/name], [name]Ellis[/name], [name]Ellison[/name], [name]Elodie[/name].

[name]Electra[/name] might be awesome! Fits with the mythological element.

I might be falling in love with Conina (Koh-NEE-nah). What do we think of this? Any middle name suggestions?

I think middles names a flower name would be lovely

[name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Jonquil[/name]
[name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Amaryllis[/name]
[name]Azalea[/name]

I am thinking something that begins and ends with a consonant and has 3 or 4 syllables, but flowers are definitely a good starting point!
